Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method comprising: assigning an initial numerical score to a recording of a call between a calling party and a called party; modifying the initial numerical score into a final numerical score based, at least in part, upon a call-related event detected during a monitoring of the call, the call-related event causing the initial numerical score to be increased or decreased by a predetermined amount; and selecting, among two or more different types of storage, a given type of storage where to store the recording based, at least in part, upon the final numerical score.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calling party is resident of a correctional facility and the called party is a non-resident of the correctional facility.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call-related event detected during the monitoring of the call includes an attempted initiation of a three-way call.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call-related event detected during the monitoring of the call includes a change in a number of unique voices participating on the call.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call-related event detected during the monitoring of the call includes a language spoken by one or more parties to the call.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call-related event detected during the monitoring of the call includes a manual flagging of the call as being of interest by a person monitoring the call.

7

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more different types of storage are selected from the group consisting of: a temporary type of storage, an online type of storage, a near-line type of storage, and an offline type of storage.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting a length of time during which to store the recording based, at least in part, upon the final numerical score.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting a first length of time during which to store the recording in a first type of storage and a second length of time during which to store the recording in a second type of storage based, at least in part, upon the final numerical score.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting between manual analysis and automated keyword detection to process the recording based, at least in part, upon the final numerical score.

11

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising prioritizing a review of the recording among other recordings based, at least in part, upon the final numerical score.

12

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the call-related event detected during the monitoring of the call includes a predefined word spoken by one or more parties to the call.

13

13. A method comprising: assigning an initial numerical score to a recording of a call between a calling party and a called party; modifying the initial numerical score into a final numerical score based, at least in part, upon a call-related event detected during a monitoring of the call, the call-related event causing the initial numerical score to be increased or decreased by a predetermined amount; and selecting a length of time during which to store the recording based, at least in part, upon the final numerical score.

14

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the calling party is resident of a correctional facility and the called party is a non-resident of the correctional facility.
